Chotto matte the fuck up, 4 blog posts in a month? The world hasn’t seen this level of work ethic since April 2018. Yes, i am a dedicated professional and my only flaw is being a perfectionist which prevents me from submitting blog posts earlier because i want them to be the best version of themselves, just like my co-workers. Seriously, companies please hit me up and give me a job because i am dying of boredom at home.
It was a beautiful Sunday morning where we slept to our hearts’ content while having the sweetest dreams and emptiest bladders.
Which was what was supposed to happen until a rogue cockroach entered the master bedroom, caused Jh to panic and woke everyone up, before being promptly murdered by Th. Hell hath no fury like a woman who has her sleep interrupted.
Since none of us could return to bed after that harrowing experience, we decided to head out for some hearty food to calm our souls. There's nothing more local than having bak kut teh for breakfast on Sundays, just be sure not to take pictures of the kitchen area or they will serve you perturbed looks.
The otah police were on high alert but thankfully we are law abiding citizens.
Hi my name is Jiesheng and i am a recovering over-ordering addict. While it might be overkill having all of these for breakfast, it brings me joy to see so much shit on our table and my friends struggling because of my life choices.
不管是马来西亚肉骨茶还是新加坡肉骨茶, 只要是肉骨茶就是好肉骨茶. One of the best herbal based bkt i have ever tried.
Is a bak kut teh meal complete without braised pork? Is the Strait of Hormuz safe to cross? Is my penis longer than 10 inches? The answer to all of them is unfortunately no.
We also ordered another stir fried ginger pork dish to complete our own version of the three little pigs story, this time with a tasty ending.
It was nearing Mid-Autumn festival or as Sufian calls it, Guan Yin Ma on the moon day, so we bought some traditional Chinese pastries home while boosting Muar's GDP by 15%.
Returning to our Muar home to store our loots, it is the perfect time to show you the massive house tour! From the neighbour’s cat persistently shitting in the driveway to Jh mom’s mini wooden chair that i thought was kumantong related (it was her phone holder), our entire stay was memorable and comfortable throughout.
We had barely digested our porky breakfast when our lunch bell rang and we begrudgingly went out to eat AGAIN.
Our midday meal is at Kopi 434, our second favourite cafe after Coffee 369.
I'm sorry i didn't realise the kaya & butter toast ratio here is also 1:3 compared to Singapore. It's kaya leh not caviar leh put a bit more also won't bankrupt mah.
Their nasi lemak wasn't the most impressive although i do have a soft spot for green coloured pandan rice, but i have no idea why my fried chicken is looking like a shriveled rat's head.
Another day, another bbt run with the bbt slut.
Every time i see a British shorthair it reminds me of Reagan's brother, and this one is extra cute because of its unglam sleeping posture.
Refusing to learn from our mistake in trusting Malaysian bakeries, we at least made sure this baker did NOT go to France to learn her craft.
Jun Hong~ why you never feed Th first 你是不是不爱她了??
That's more like it. The banana cake was good and so was their otah bread. Final score Muar 1 France 0.
From Switzerland's Coop to Muar's Econsave, even the supermarkets here are not spared from us.
For dinner, we went to a popular local spot for some red wine mee sua. Googling their shop name in English, Kedai Makanan dan Minuman GP, you would think that this place was a gas station instead.
The combination of sesame oil and red wine was so nourishing that i felt like a postpartum lady in confinement, but let's save the pregnancy jokes for our next post.
The basic bitch in me preferred their dry noodles, mixed with dark soy sauce and topped with a dollop of sweet chilli.
Quoting the old Kpop hit "HUH" by 4Minute to accurately describe this dish, "chicken wing chicken wing chicken wing hard, work itty work itty work it out".
IMMEDIATELY after dinner, we went to have some lok lok because it said leng zai bbq and we were indeed leng zais.
I was twitching hard like someone with Parkinson's disease trying to manage my overordering instincts, a task which was made harder by the sheer number of skewer selections.
Wow, such a modest amount of skewers that we can comfortably finish! I am proud of myself for showing such restraint and self control-
GOD DAMN IT WE JUST HAD DINNER! HOW CAN WE FINISH ALL OF THESE? Spoiler alert: we did.
We cleaned up the place one last time, leaving it as spotless as when we arrived is the least we could do to repay Jh's mom, that is until the lizards poop all over the walls again.
To pile on the food misery, i discovered this little gift from Family Mart that i left for myself in the fridge. Many thanks, Day 1 Js.
Then i opened the freezer for one final check and of course, there was a magnum awaiting me. Thanks again, Day 1 Js.
Thoughts on Muar? Really chill place with cheap, good food and even better otah. There's nothing much to do here but eat and sleep and we really enjoyed that. Although trips jam packed with sights and activities are nice, we need a chill trip like this every now and then. We journeyed home on the dimly lit Malaysian roads fully recharged and with a tummy so round i felt i was about 3 months pregnant. Which was quite apt because it is FINALLY time to tell you all about our Japan 2022 trip! From majestic views to du lan bins, pickle buffets to 24/7 operating washing machines, the series will have it all. Coming to you on 1st April 2026.
- End of Muar 2022 -
